1860Best.-Nr. D-1184This is a second U.S. edition but the title page is missing. All other pages are present. Please see the photos for the condition. Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought. No being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task. Yet The Origin of Species is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life climate and physical environment and—by implication—within the human world. Written for the general reader in a style that combines the rigor of science with the subtlety of literature The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.
